Rubber Flooring has catapulted to fame and recognition much like Arnold Schwarzenegger became an overnight sensation after Terminator:2. The humble flooring has now become a staple choice for any exercise zone and has also advanced to other formats of use like labs, dojos and playgrounds. The shocker however is the use of its new format of interlocking tiles in household kitchens.
Kitchen rubber tiles have over the past few years taken on a whole new role all over the globe. The earlier rubber flooring’s were mats which required professional installation and days of work and sizing problems. There was a lot of waste rubber which felt like a stab on your wallet. Enter the savior Rubber Tiles. Rubber tiles revolutionized the way people installed flooring. The tiles were interlock able, which meant all you needed was the right measure and you could clean the surface and install the flooring on your own on a lazy afternoon or over the weekend. The tiles also came in all the colors of rainbow with new patterns emerging every day. You could literally spend all day just choosing the right color, that’s not to say that the process is cumbersome but it is a measure of saying how spoils you are for choice.
Rubber Flooring is as convenient to clean as it is to install. It is the only flooring available that you can remove and hose down with a pipe and put back again. It can fit into your modular kitchen and set in like any other equipment in your house, the flame resistant versions of the rubber tiles are usually installed in kitchens. The tiles not only add to the aesthetics of your kitchen they are also good for your feet, so ladies don’t worry about standing too long in the kitchen with Rubber Flooring and tiling you feet will feel like they are on cloud nine with a soothing and comforting feeling for your soles and ankles.
Gyms and playgrounds have now moved over to this kind of flooring in the fastest way possible and are now the highest consumer of this product. The nature of areas mentioned earlier is such that they warrant shock absorbing, drop proof and sound absorbing surfaces. Exercise and play areas install rubber based floors as they cannot have an extremely hard core surface, they need surfaces which can handle equipment drops, and playgrounds have children dropping/falling on them all the time, rubber based flooring like tiles helps them in avoiding any kind of surface breaks and injuries which can lead to other legal scenarios. Gym equipment is usually heavy and if a gym is in a floor based building then rubber tiles are an absolute must as using a treadmill and heavy machinery causes a lot of shock vibrations to the floor and could damage the ceiling of the floors below, rubber flooring absorbs the schlock and prevents any kind of damage to the floors below.
The added advantage with Rubber Tiles is that if you want to expand the flooring surface then all you need to do is add more interlocking tiles saving you a lot of money and helping you in reducing rubber wastage. Since ecology is a dominant factor these days rubber tiles will get you those environment friendly points as they are made by recycling used rubber and tires. Best of all you can mix and match the different designs of a rubber tile to give you that extra pizzazz on the floor, hotels and gym surfaces use this pattern to keep a lively prepped up effect in their exercise area. Also these tiles do not retain water and moisture hence you have no worried of moth or rubber decaying smell.
Quite a few places like garages and labs have also switched over to Rubber Flooring, the surmise being that garages have a hug load of heavy machinery and big items that get dropped and the rubber based floor helps them in saving on damages on flooring costs, also oil spills and grease can easily be sponged away from high quality rubber flooring as it does not absorb the liquid. Rubber tiles doe not suffer from any kind of damage from these spills. The other advantage is that high quality rubber does not chip away leaving you with bits and pieces to clean away every day.
Consider this option the next time you are out there looking for a flooring option.
